Feeding disorders in children classification and management
Abstract
Feeding disorders in children are a common clinical challenge that can significantly impact growth, development, and family dynamics. This lecture, designed for medical doctors, will focus on the classification and management of feeding disorders in the pediatric population. Key points include evaluating whether a child is feeding well, addressing limited appetite, avoiding meal-time conflicts, and overcoming neophobia (fear of new foods). We will discuss practical strategies for assessing feeding behavior, differentiating normal variations from clinically significant feeding disorders, and implementing tailored management plans. By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with tools to promote healthy feeding practices and support families in fostering positive, stress- free meal environments.
